Chapter 811


    Chase approached them with a rxed stride, offering a casual greeting before delving straight into the


    matter at hand.


    “Hello there, I’m Cedric’swyer, here to explore the possibility of resolving this situation privately, he


    stated


    Hailey and Yeager exchanged a knowing nce upon learning his profession, their determination


    unyielding as they simultaneously dered. “We have no interest in


    mediation”


    Despite already involving the police, they remained resolute in pursuing charges against Cedric for


    assault and sexual harassment. However, Chase remained unfazed by their refusal, shing them a


    confident grin


    “I understand where you’reing from, but let’s look at the facts. It was Mr. Yeager who initiated the


    verbal altercation, and Cedric merely responded in kind,‘ Chase asserted, aiming to present a different


    perspective


    ‘He clearly made advances towards my girlfriend first. I was merely defending her What gives him the


    right to throw a punch? Yeager retorted, his lone growing heated.


    Sensing Yeager’s rising agitation, Chase swiftly ced a calming hand on his shoulder, attempting to


    diffuse the tension in the room.


    “Easy there Let’s talk about the terms of the mediation first


    Regardless of whether Yeager and Hailey were willing to listen, Chase just pulled over a chair and sat


    down opposite them.


    “Mr Yeager, I’ve looked at your medical report. Your injuries don’t even qualify as minor. Taking him to


    court could be a bit tricky. How about this, we’ll cover all your medical expenses andpensate you


    with an additional 100,000 for emotional damages. As for Cedric’s disrespectful behavior towards Ms.


    Vulpe, he misunderstood the situation and lost his cool. I’m willing topensate Ms. Vulpe with


    500,000 on Cedric’s behalf How does that sound?”


    If it were Hailey’s ex husband Austin Zimmer, he definitely would’ve agreed But sitting next to Hailey


    now was Yeager


    “We don’t need your money, and you can’t buy us off. We’re taking this to court. Let Cedric wait for his


    summons!”


    Seeing that the negotiation was going nowhere, Chase dropped his smile


    “Mr. Yeager, do you really think your minor injures are enough to put Cedric behind bars?”


    “They might not be, but I can make it happen Hailey said, her tone resolute.


    “Ms. Vulpe,” Chase cut her off, “do you think it’s easy to win a sexual harassment case? Without


    evidence, it can’t be confirmed as harassment. Plus, you and Cedric were in a rtionship for three


    years It could just be seen as a lovers‘ spat.”


    These words deted Hailey’s newfound courage.


    That’s right, how could they possibly sue Cedric? He had kissed her and touched her in the hotel room.


    The hotel Yeager had taken her to was high–end and valued their guests‘ privacy. There was no way


    there was surveince in the room.


    Without evidence, there was no way they could sue him, and even if they did, it would probably just be


    a formality.


    The same went for Yeager’s injuries. Even the court–appointed medical examiner couldn’t confirm that


    they were serious enough to warrant legal action


    “I’ve said my piece. You guys can do whatever you want next. But, just to be clear, if you decide to sue


    him, I’ll be the one defending him.”


    In other words, it’s unlikely that Cedric would have to go to court over this minor issue. This was just


    sheer arrogance.


    With that, Chase handed Hailey a business card and told her to contact him if she decided to take the


    mediation


    Then he just walked away.


    Pausing and turning back, Chase locked his gaze on the silent pair before him.


    “Ms. Vulpe, let me remind you once more of the weight on Cedric’s shoulders. If you genuinely care for


    him, it’s advisable to consider mediation sooner” he cautioned.


    Aware of the ethical boundaries as awyer, Chase couldn’t help but be influenced by his friendship


    with the stubborn Cedric

    “Mr. Chase, refrain from threatening Hailey I won’t back down, even if it means sacrificing everything


    for my family, Yeager defiantly asserted.


    Adjusting his gold–rimmed sses, Chase shot him a meaningful look.


    “Sult yourself,” Chase replied tersely, leaving the consequences of Yeager’s decision hanging in the air.


    Questioning Yeager’s true intentions, Chase wondered if he genuinely desired to provoke a


    confrontation with Cedric or if his words held a hint of jest.
